Apple TV Update Fixes Download and Picture Errors

Apple today has started rolling out a new firmware update 4.1.1 to its Apple TV device that its hopes will fix a few issues some users have been having downloading movies and with picture quality.

The new update addresses an issue that causes some high-definition TVs to incorrectly display at 480p and also an issue that may cause a movie or TV show to be re-downloaded.

However it is still unclear as to whether the update will fix the ongoing problem experienced by a number of users who have reported extraordinarily long delys waiting for HD content to stream and start playing on their Apple TV devices. In some cases the delays have been reported to be into hundreds or thousands of minutes before anything starts to actually play.
